LOWELL -- A man in his 20s pulled a large kitchen knife after walking into an Aiken Avenue hair salon Wednesday afternoon and took the owner's wallet and cash from a register before escaping on foot, police said.

Officers were called to Hair Solutions, 108 Aiken Ave., at 3:25 p.m., after the owner said a slim, light-skinned male in his 20s robbed the store. The suspect was about 5 feet 9 inches, and wore a ski mask, black jacket and black jeans.

He fled toward Lakeview Avenue after the robbery.

Anyone with information is asked to call Lowell police at 978-937-3200 or Crimestoppers at 978-459-TIPS (8477). Information can also be sent to police via Text-a-Tip, by texting TIP411 (847411) with the subject "LPDTIP."

Tipsters can remain anonymous, but can receive up to $1,000 for information leading to an arrest.
